Answer:

P(You\ n\ Anna\ n\ Kevin) = \frac{1}{4913}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Total\ Employees = 17

To\ Select = 3

Required

Determine the probability of selecting You, Anna and Kevin

Assuming the selection process is fair;

Each employee has a probability of;

Probability = \frac{1}{17}

So:

P(You\ n\ Anna\ n\ Kevin) = P(You) * P(Anna) * P(Kevin)

P(You\ n\ Anna\ n\ Kevin) = \frac{1}{17} * \frac{1}{17} * \frac{1}{17}

P(You\ n\ Anna\ n\ Kevin) = \frac{1}{4913}

Farmer Hanson is putting together fruit baskets. He has 240 apples and 150 pears. What is the largest number of baskets he can p
Tomtit [17]

Answer: 30 baskets.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

You need to find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF).

240 (apples) = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5

150 (pears) = 2 x 3 x 5 x 5

GCF (240, 150) = 2 x 3 x 5

                         = 30

You can make 30 baskets containing 240/30 = 8 apples and 150/30 = 5 pears.

Maxwell’s vegetarian tacos requires 3/4 tablespoon of chili powder for every 1/2 pound of vegetables. How much chili powder will
Zina [86]

Answer:

1 1/8 or 9/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up a proportion. The proportion will be teaspoons of chili powder over pound of vegetables.

The first proportion will be..

\frac{x}{y} x is 3/4 and y is 1/2. Across from that proportion make another one

\frac{x}{y} x is "n" because you're trying to figure out how much chili powder you need. y is 1 3/4.

Multiply 3/4 and 1 3/4, which is 9/16. Then, divide 9/16 and 1/2, which is 9/8. Simplify it to 1 1/8, and Maxwell will need 1 1/8 teaspoons of chili powder.

Hope this wasn't too confusing :)

Round 1627187 to the nearest ten?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

1627190

Step-by-step explanation:

(see attached for reference)

Given the number 1627187, we can see that the number in the tens place is the number 8.  

How we round this depends on the number immediately to the right of this number. (i.e the digit in the ones place)

Case 1: If the digit in the ones place is less less than 5, then the number in the tens place remains the same and replace all the digits to its right with zeros

Case 2: If the digit in the ones places is 5 or greater, then we increase the digit in the tens place and replace all the digits to its right with zeros.

In our case, the digit in the ones places is 7, this greater than 5, hence according to Case 2 above, we increase the digit in the tens place by one (from 8 to 9) and replace all the digits to its right by zeros giving us:
